The title says it all. I’ve never had a lot of success with getting a frosting that both tasted good AND had the right texture!
This one was perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly except I used vanilla bean paste in place of the extract.

I also held back about a quarter of the batch and mixed in espresso powder to make a coffee frosting. YUM!

Excellent. Great for frosting and worked perfectly for decorating.

Easy and wonderful! While still quite sweet, the texture is light and so smooth and it spreads like a dream. I ended up swapping out one stick of butter for the equivalent of shortening and it worked out great.

I may scale down the measurements next time for a standard layer cake, as this makes a ton of frosting. I was able to frost a three layer 8″ cake very generously, make piped roses and still had leftovers! This batch would be great for generously-piped cupcakes.

Thank you for this great recipe– just got done frosting my daughter’s 4th birthday cake and it’s gorgeous and she can’t stop sneaking tastes!

Made it for cupcakes, and it was incredible. I had trouble not licking the bowl. I did add just a touch more cream to be on the safe side.

The name doesn’t lie. This stuff is amazing! I used it to cover a 2 layer birthday cake for my son and had a TON left over. I froze the leftovers until I made sugar cookies, and used it for them. It was still amazing!

This frosting was delicious and easy to make. It had a nice light texture and was hit on my chocolate cupcakes. A single batch makes more than enough frosting for 24 cupcakes, even if you are piping big swirls of the stuff.
